Adaptive control methods for buildings with redundant circuitry

A method for controlling a first switch terminal of a building occupied by one or more building occupants, comprising:

• providing the first switch terminal that includes a plurality of switch terminal parameters, the first switch terminal including a plurality of wiring terminals;
• coupling the plurality of wiring terminals to a plurality of wiring elements without a specific coupling configuration of a wiring element to a wiring terminal;
• using a first computer system coupled to the first switch terminal of the building at a first location of the building;
• using a first plurality of sensors coupled to the first switch terminal and the first computer system, at least a portion of the sensors configured to provide signal data to the first computer system, the first computer system producing a command or data output that relates to at least one of:
• a command output for a local control system, a command output for a different system, a data output for a different system, a command output for a non-local device or a data output that is a non-local device, each of an output including learned data that is based on a machine intelligence from previous data collected about patterns of a building occupant and used to provide an adaptive control system for the building;
• a second switch terminal coupled to and interacting with the first switch terminal to coordinate their operations and to provide that the second switch terminal supplements building occupant behavior information obtained from the first switch terminal supplements to allow the first and second switch terminals outputs including learned data that is based on a machine intelligence from previous data collected about patterns of a building occupant;
• an interface at the first switch terminal configured to receive a command input from a building occupant and serves as a point of interaction between the first computer system and the building occupant, the interface selected from at least one of:
• touch, graphics, sound, position, movement, voice, communication, wireless, and radio;
• and
• wherein the system is configured to provide information of how at least a portion of the first plurality of sensors relate to the second plurality of sensors.
